Hopefully it's just the prism contacts, which are usually easy to fix.
See my other post. I don't think the prism-body contact pins could get
bent - the contact there is made very flexible by way of thin
springmounted metal sheet. Unless it's the shutter flash contacts,
which would seem unlikely as the shutter still works, I think it is
the contacts inside the prism and the hotshoe.

Frank, don't give up hope yet! I have once repaired the loose hotshoe
problem when on a shoot during a pause on a restaurant table ;-)
